Sub-Series 1B: Sermons and Addresses

Although Goodell never went to seminary and was never ordained, he formed a church in New York State, based on an evangelical understanding of Christianity but not restricted to one denomination. Freedom from denominational control meant the congregation was also free to receive persons of color and oppose slaveholding as a sinful practice. This series includes numerous sermons prepared for the church in Honeoye, as well as addresses prepared for reform-minded audiences elsewhere, or for conferences or conventions.

Sub-Series 1C: Correspondence

William Goodell corresponded with most of the prominent 19th century abolitionists in the United States, often in connection with items published in one or another of the periodicals he edited, such as The Investigator and Principia. Some of the letters are about subscriptions, but many more discuss the key issues debated among the reformers and abolitionists of the 19th century. Goodell was also involved in political conventions, formation of the American Missionary Society, and later the Temperance platform that was represented by presidential candidate James Black.
